The gun specs say "41-44psi input", which I read as static pressure,
before spraying. The following is a good thread for you. Contributor P
says that he sprays at 10-30psi (less for less overspray, 30 for large
panels) with the trigger pulled.

If you don't mind my asking, what'd you pay for the gun and which
model did you buy, Mark?

It's a HVLPDX 1.5mm nozzle, I think I paid like $85.00 for it.
I haven't used it yet, apart from spraying water :)
